  • This song was produced by Pharrell Williams, who also is featured on the track along with Tosh. Busta told HipHop.com: "The guest on it is a lady called Tosh, a Jamaican Mariah Carey-type singer, but I wanted her to give me that raw Jamaican patois on this record, and cos of my Jamaican descent I did the same thing."
